No offense to the goodly Christian part of Skillets audience but maybe the real reason Skillet completely dropped thier old sound was because they sound more like wanting to get dommed by Jesus then worshipping him in the more traditional sense
I found it fun and interesting to do, and learned a couple new techniques for editing backgrounds. The experiment with editing the original song was also very successful. The result turned out almost exactly as I had imagined the sound. Songs about revolution are some of my favorites in general. :)
I am more than pleased with the result, I hope you will like it too. :)
If you are into mysterious and folky ethereal vibes with a deep voice, listen to this song: an interpretation of Goigs de la Mare de Déu del Claustre de Solsona with a modern arrangement, by Roger Mas.
Roger Mas is a musician and singer-songwriter from Solsona, Central Catalonia. In this album, he included some traditional songs from his city. This one is a goigs (Catalan prayer songs) dedicated to the patron saint of Solsona, the Madonna of the Cloister.
Lyrics in Catalan and translation to English under the cut.
Puix tant amor ens teniu
per ser la nostra Patrona:
de la ciutat de Solsona
els vostres fills protegiu.
Since you love us so much
to be our Patron:
of the city of Solsona
protect your children.
Quan la terra a l'aspre jou
del pecat quedà lligada
per no veure-us profanada
us amaguen dins d'un pou.
Dels claustres on el teniu
tothom el títol us dóna.
De la ciutat de Solsona
els vostres fills protegiu.
When the Earth became linked
to the rough yoke of sin
in order to not see you profaned
you were hidden inside a well.
Everyone gives you the title
of the cloisters where you have it [the well].
Protect your children
of the city of Solsona.
Un dia anant-hi a jugar
un nen en ses aigües queia;
sa mare que mort el creia,
així el va sentir cridar:
mareta, no us afligiu,
que ja tinc qui ajuda em dóna,
de la ciutat de Solsona
els vostres fills protegiu.
One day, going to play there
a child fell in its waters;
his mother, who thought him dead,
heard him shout like this:
"dear mother, don't grieve,
for I already have someone who helps me".
Protect your children
of the city of Solsona.
Els monjos i els habitants,
corrent-hi tots de seguida,
encara el troben amb vida
en vostres sagrades mans.
A la imatge, que els somriu,
claror una llàntia dóna
de la ciutat de Solsona
els vostres fills protegiu.
The monks and inhabitants,
all of them quickly running there,
still found him alive
in your holy hands.
A lamp illuminates
the Image, which smiles at them.
Protect your children
of the city of Solsona.
Sens cap núvol al cel blau
un gran tro causa sorpresa,
i queda la llàntia encesa
per un llamp que del cel cau.
Aquest fet tan expressiu
el vostre poder pregona,
de la ciutat de Solsona
els vostres fills protegiu.
With no cloud in the blue sky
a great thunder causes surprise,
and the lantern remains lit
by a lightning that fell from the sky.
Such an expressive event
proclaims your power.
Protect your children
of the city of Solsona.
Puix tant amor ens teniu
per ser la nostra Patrona:
de la ciutat de Solsona
els vostres fills protegiu.
Since you love us so much
to be our Patron:
Protect your children
of the city of Solsona.
I really need talk to you Lord
Since the last time we talked, the walk has been hard
Now I know you haven't left me, but I feel like I'm alone
I'ma big boy now, but I'm still not grown
